DAYTON, Ohio — The McCain campaign just confirmed that Sen. John McCain has selected Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin for his running mate. Here’s the press release:
For Immediate Release Friday, August 29, 2008 ARLINGTON, VA — U.S. Senator John McCain today announced that he has selected Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to be his running mate and to serve as his vice president.
Governor Palin is a tough executive who has demonstrated during her time in office that she is ready to be president. She has brought Republicans and Democrats together within her Administration and has a record of delivering on the change and reform that we need in Washington.
Governor Palin has challenged the influence of the big oil companies while fighting for the development of new energy resources. She leads a state that matters to every one of us — Alaska has significant energy resources and she has been a leader in the fight to make America energy independent.
In Alaska, Governor Palin challenged a corrupt system and passed a landmark ethics reform bill. She has actually used her veto and cut budgetary spending. She put a stop to the “bridge to nowhere” that would have cost taxpayers $400 million dollars.
As the head of Alaska’s National Guard and as the mother of a soldier herself, Governor Palin understands what it takes to lead our nation and she understands the importance of supporting our troops.
Governor Palin has the record of reform and bipartisanship that others can only speak of. Her experience in shaking up the status quo is exactly what is needed in Washington today.

If this election about judgment – the choice of Sarah Pahin shows poor judgment on McCain's part.
Any intelligent person knows when you choose to have unprotected sex at 43 you have a very high probability of having a child with Downs Syndrome. She used poor judgment not using birth control.
Would she use better judgment dealing with our economy?
Would she use better judgment dealing with our enemies?
I for one am not willing to take a chance on her and John McCain’s judgment.
With the conditions in this world you can not depend on a roll of the dice for the person that is 1 / 2 of a breath away from being the leader of the most powerful nation in the world. .
And I’m a educated woman so don’t get on my back about sexism.
